   COMMAND
       Specifies  the  action  to  perform on the object.  The set of possible actions depends on the object
       type.  As a rule, it is possible to show (or list ) objects, but some objects do	 not  allow  all  of
       these  operations or have some additional commands. The help command is available for all objects. It
       prints out a list of available commands and argument syntax conventions.

       If no command is given, some default command is assumed.	 Usually it is list or, if  the	 objects  of
       this class cannot be listed, help.

EXIT STATUS
       Exit status is 0 if command was successful or a positive integer upon failure.
